Apollo 13 Challenge

"Failure is not an option." - Gene Kranz, Flight Director Apollo13

Tonight's Challenge was difficult on several levels, testing not only a team's technical knowledge but also their ability to work with each other under less than ideal circumstances.  The team's were split into two components, Ground team and "Astronauts".  The Ground Team must successfully communicate a design for a command module to the astronauts using only text messaging.



The Ground Team were given images of an Apollo command module...




Which proved to be more difficult to describe than one might think...




But the teams pulled through and relayed specifications to their astronauts who modeled the module as best they could.




And the final results were pretty conclusive.  Congratulations Ruston!
